Not that she was entirely unaware of her connection to Disney’s classic heroines. Back in February, one Twitter user noticed that two of Shuri’s Black Panther hairstyles were very similar to those worn by Princess Leia in the original Star Wars. Wright told Yahoo Entertainment that at least one of those homages was entirely intentional. One day on set, Wright’s hairstylist was playing with putting her hair in buns when director Ryan Coogler walked in and remarked, “Hey, you look like Princess Leia! You gonna wear that?” Wright played coy, but says she “turned up on set with my Princess Leia buns — and he loved it.”
